fabric buddy
It seems like all the blog people are always getting little gifts in the mail from other blog friends. This week, I was the one getting stuff!
I got something from my online friend stephanie. Stephanie lives in the great state of Alabama and we have kids similar in age and I love how absolutely Southern she is. I mean, I'm Southern too and all but she's like cool Southern.
Anyway, she had some fabric left from her son's room re-do so I got it! It's a couple of different vintage travel patterns - suitcases, and travel stickers. Anyone have any thoughts on what to do with it?
This week work began on Modern Quilt's Eclipse for... (dramatic pause) The Mother In Law and I learned the very slow-going art of piecing giant circular parts. All said since Wed. I have done about 5 squares. Well, that's 5 less that I have to do I guess. Except I have 23 more to go. Sheesh, glad Christmas is a month and a half away.
The other day I found out that we have TWO QUILT STORES IN TOWN. How did I not ever know this?
This week I take some time off from all things Christmas giftish and pull a few things out to fill in my stash for the craft open house next weekend! Would love to see any locals that are interested there! Just write me for more info!

Posted by: KT at November 13, 2005 06:03 PMI absolutely cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die promise that I haven't read or sneaked a peek at any of the posts you have done that said "Mom, don't even think about looking at this." It'been diffricult because everyone on our cruise has been lusting after my knitting bag. However, that said, we're off this ship today and have unlimited internet service in our hotel in Athens.
Now,for the reason for my post. HELLO!!! I own a travel agency. Remember? What about using that wonderful travel fabric for something neat for ME!!!
Maybe I'm being selfish. But I truly love everything you have ever made for me (including the bell with glitter in from when you were in second grade). '
Now for my second reason for this post. I couldn't find any shops in Marseilles or St. Paul de Vence i France to buy any provencial fabric. However, I did find a wonderful yarn shop in the Plaka in Athens yesterday, and bought both you and Angel six HUGE skeins of wonderful cotton yarn. These Greeks really know how to sell yarn. They sell it by the kilo. The colors are wonderful, and you are going to love it.
See you this weekend.
Love,
Mom
